The Jungle Book**   

(US 1967)                                    

Adopted jungle boy Mowgli encounters various adventures and dangers in his flight from the man-eating tiger Shere Khan.
Amiably loose animation adaptation with only occasional recourse to Rudyard Kipling, and some catchy tunes in between sluggish phases and some variable character interpretations, and a general uncertainty of tone - a sign of the muddled Disney efforts to come (this was Walt's last production before his death.)

THE JUNGLE BOOK. Mowgli meets the vultures, based (very) roughly on The Beatles.
